- Wenger playing a weakend team against Tottenham in the semi-finals of the Carling Cup. Tottenham 5-1 Arsenal (Spurs win 6-2 on aggregate)
It wasn't a weakened team, because their youngsters are apparently better than anyone else 'outside the top four'. So better than Spurs, who've been mid table in the league this year.
Adebayor headbutting Bendtner during a game
And the FA did nothing, yet apparently there's some big conspiracy of officials against Arsenal this season...
Selling Diarra in January
Left with no choice since he's an absolute dickwad and not as good a player as he thinks he is.
Not signing anyone in the January transfer window
Classic Wenger - he'd rather get plaudits for losing trophies while playing 18 year olds than he would winning trophies by actually buying experienced and talented players.
Wenger playing a weakend team again in a cup competition, this time against Man Utd in the 5th round of the Fa Cup. Man Utd 4-0 Arsenal
Man U's team was weaker than Arsenals in that fixture, and they threw on their best players to try to rescue the result (as against Spurs in the CC).
The injury to Eduardo
The week before he was lucky not to injure someone else in the same way, and a month after Diaby was incredibly lucky not to injure someone else in the same way. No doubt the injury affected Arsenal, but they tackle like that just as much as anyone.
Gallas crying at the end of the Birmingham game
A result of Arsenal's ineptitude rather than a cause of it.
Adebayor getting his hair cut
Made a world of difference.
Luck with injuries
Toure, Gallas, Fabregas, Hleb and Adebayor have all been fit pretty much all season. They've had good luck with injuries, if anything. And don't bring up Van Rapist because he's always been a crock.
Referring decisions
Mostly went in their favour. No significant ones went against them.
Team selection, e.g. Senderos at CB?
Senderos being bloody useless was the mistake. Picking him merely an afterthought.
Arsenal are fucked for three reasons:
1) Wenger's arrogance and failure to admit his own limitations and mistakes
2) A smaller squad than those they are directly competing with, though they've got the money to buy so they have no excuses there
3) The wrong attitude - constantly complaining and blaming others, forever choking when it comes to the biggest games, always blaming referees and other teams roughing them up, frequently hyping themselves up and believing they have a right to win just by turning up and playing a couple of well angled 10 yard passes.
